A Message from the Bozeman Campus
Choosing an upper division campus can be very overwhelming, especially if
you are not familiar with the area. To assist you in making this decision,
the following are some characteristics, some of which are unique to Bozeman,
others you will find similar to all the campuses. There is no question
that no matter what campus you choose, you will have an excellent learning
experience.
- Clinical emphasis is consistent with the curricular focus of community-based
learning which means your clinical experiences will be everywhere from the
acute care hospital setting to the home. The purpose of each
setting is to prepare you to practice in an ever changing health care environment.
- Extensive use of communication technology, including e-mail, WebCT and
Polycom to support learning and delivery of nursing care.
- Multiple opportunities to practice and gain experience in rural community
settings.
- Access to a supportive learning environment, including a dedicated skills
lab as well as access to computer labs on campus and the Renne Library as
well as all the on line resources available through the library.
- Support from a dedicated administrative team.
- Faculty at varying levels and areas of expertise, ranging from expert clinicians
to nationally known researchers. Faculty are not only very knowledgeable
and supportive, but because of the small number of upper division students,
they are very accessible.
- Opportunity to work directly with nurse researchers in their specific areas
of research.
- A community in which there are no other nursing programs which are competing
for clinical sites.
- A very welcoming and supportive healthcare community which is anxious to
be involved in the education of nursing students.
